SWTOR or STO?

Now, look.
I really, really don't care if you like Star Trek better than Star Wars.
Or if you like Star Wars better than Star Trek.
I don't care about their established fanbases, yadda yadda.

I just want to know, that, just based on looking at the games, which upcoming MMO, if you could only choose one of the two, would you play?

Star Wars: The Old Republic
or
Star Trek Online

SWTOR is being developed by Bioware, responsible for the fantastic Knights of the Old Republic games.
STO is being developed by Cryptic Studios, responsible for the highly reputable MMO City of Heroes.

Based on the game content alone and what it looks like you'll be able to do in the game and what the game itself looks like, which one would you choose?

EDIT: release for STO is almost positively March 2010, and release for SWTOR has been posted on Amazon as November and then taken down, so nobody really knows its release date.

Regardless of how they look, I think that what you prefer will influence which you play. Specially if you know the content context.

I agree with TSC, but I love both star wars and star trek, granted star wars alot more but the new movie has got me hyped for it. I am really anticipating SWTOR but I have a feeling star trek online is going to come out first and im willing to give it a try. But those are not the only games I have been tracking, one other one is Stargate worlds, it looks like an awesome game but they are being slow with it. (Beta ended back in december and they said they would start again shortly, but still no beta)

I've been following STO for over a year, and it looks to be an exciting game - once its done (when that is... is any guess)

I've also been a big fan of SW for years - played X-Wing in the ol' days and even made my own missions using a mission builder (and even made an entire package of missions). Like many shooter games though - I found as time went on and the "need for accuracy" became so refined that my "older nerves" could not keep up - which is why I drifted away from shaip and FPS games (I loved Duke 3D - you didn't need to be a sniper rifel guy for every shot to get someone - but todays FPS's you have to be).

Will I try these new games - its possible... depending on their final releases, money, time, stuff

I had supposed that that much was obvious, and that posters would keep that to themselves. The main objective of my writing that was so that this wouldn't turn into a ridiculous Star Wars vs. Star Trek thread like they have over on the STO forums.

something tells me when TOR comes out Pirates will loose lots and lots of fans. SAD. Though it will probably be better.
